Vrsnidasā27 And at the end of this list it is written : "etc. Eighty four thousand prakirņakas by Lord Rşabha, sařkhyāta thousand prakirrakas by the intermediary 22 Tīrthařkaras and fourteen thousand prakirņakas by Lord Mahāvira also to be included in the kälika angabāhya works." The author goes on to add that these works are as many thousand as are the disciples of the Tirthankaras--disciples possessed of four types of intellect--and also as many thousand as are the pratyekabuddhas.
The Nandisūtra mentions 60 angabāhya works which are other than the avaśyakas. Though they might have been extant at the time when the Nandi was composed, at present many of them are extinct.
Classification of the Agamas
As we have seen, at first the Angas alone constituted the Āgamas or Ganipitakas. Afterwards even the works based on these Angas found place among the Āgamas and they were called angabāhya. Hence now onwards the Agamas came to be classified into two-the Anga and the Angabahya. For the class anga the term 'angapravista' is also used. For the class angabāhya the terms 'upanga', 'anangapravista' and 'upatantra' are likewise used. Văcaka Umāsvāti uses the terms 'angabāhya' and 'upānga' for the angabāhya class, while the Dhavalä employs the terms 'angabahya' and 'upatantra' for that very class. From the references found in the Nandisūtra it can be seen that the term "prakirnaka' was also applied to the angabāhya class. The Jayadhavalā (p. 122) corroborates this point. Like the Vedas, the Angas were studied at specific times
27. The Pāksikasūtra mentions, in addition to these 31 works, five others,
viz. the Asivişabhavana, the Drstivişabhāvanā, the Svapnabhāvanā, the Mahasvapnabhāvanā, and the Taijasanisarga. And the Yoganandi additionally mentions three other works, viz. the Sāgaraprajñapti, the Vrsnika and the Caranabhāvanu. Thus the total number of works pertaining to this type comes to 39.
